Playing-time analysis: Nwaneri, Monroe, Joeckel, Meester and Shorts have played every snap through two games. … Todman saw early third-down duty instead of Forsett, which increased his action after playing 11 snaps against Kansas City. … Burton picked up Mike Brown’s snaps. … The Jaguars would like to use more two-tight end formations but the absence of Marcedes Lewis and always being behind in the game haven’t allowed for that. … Robinson has played eight offensive snaps in two games.

1. First-and-10 from the Oakland 46 (second quarter): Five-man rush vs. six-man protection. … A broken play that resulted in a zero-yard sack in 2.12 seconds. At the snap, Henne looked right for a quick throw but Shorts had already started blocking. It was an automatic throw – Shorts was going against off coverage. When that didn’t happen, Henne had no chance.

2. Third-and-6 from the Jaguars’ 29 (second quarter): Five-man rush vs. six-man protection. … Todman didn’t pick up DE Jason Hunter and on the other side, DE Lamarr Houston beat Monroe. Hunter forced Henne right into Houston for the sack in 3.01 seconds.

3. Third-and-6 from the Jaguars’ 23 (fourth quarter): Seven-man rush vs. seven-man protection. … Safety Usama Young blitzed between the end and tackle gap unblocked when Todman opted to help Meester, who was on the verage of getting beat. Time was 2.34 seconds.

4. First-and-10 from the Oakland 49 (fourth quarter): Four-man rush vs. six-man protection. … Hunter rushed over the Jaguars’ right side unblocked – it’s unclear if that was Todman’s responsibility or Joeckel missed the assignment. Time was 2.65 seconds.

5. Third-and-5 from the Jaguars’ 25 (fourth quarter): Five-man rush vs. five-man protection. … An overload blitz by Young and cornerback Tracy Porter over the Jaguars’ right side. Neither player was blocked and Young sacked Henne in 2.33 seconds. It’s unclear if Joeckel should have picked one of the blitzers – he stayed with Hunter, who veered inside at the snap.

Playing-time analysis: Posluszny, Hayes and Cyprien haven’t missed a snap through two games. … Branch saw his snaps increase from 24 against Kansas City. … Babin played five fewer snaps than in Week 1. … Blackmon went the whole way in place of an injured Dwayne Gratz. … Every time Allen came off the field in nickel, he was replaced by Harris. … McCray’s first snap on defense came when he replaced Ball.

Analysis

*Terrelle Pryor’s passes divided by distance: At or behind the line of scrimmage (8-of-10), 1-5 yards beyond the line (2-of-3), 6-10 yards (4-of-6) and 11 or more yards (2-of-7).

2. Third-and-4 from the Oakland 17 (third quarter). Four-man rush vs. five-man protection. Lined up at right defensive tackle, Mincey used his hands to get outside of Nix and sack Pryor in 2.35 seconds.

3. Third-and-9 from the Jaguars’ 44 (fourth quarter). Five-man rush vs. seven-man protection. Time was 5.69 seconds. When the Raiders kept extra blockers, it freed up Posluszny to rush Pryor, who was rolling to his right. Pryor stepped out of bounds for the no-yard sack.

I think its telling that of 31 drop backs Oakland had, we rushed only 4 guys 26 of those times. You constantly hear how pressure on the QB is one of the keys to disrupting pass plays, yet we rely on 4 sub standard positions to bring that pressure. Its been explained that rushing only 4 helps protect the "back end" players in their coverage. Hey, in the NFL, you give a QB time to throw, and even Pryor, who's not exactly a passing wizard will find a receiver.
Pressure up front is the key, and that's just not going to happen with the personnel we have on the defensive line. If that doesn't change by the time we get to Peyton Manning, he may well obliterate all one game passing records.
